Makura Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

This blend of CS, Merlot and Syrah aged beautifully. Tanins are super soft and velvety. A full body, thick and powerful red, powerful nose and aftertaste. Acidity and sweetness balanced perfectly. — 14 days ago

Ruth's Reach Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Dark violet/purple color. Aromas of blueberry, black cherry/currants, tobacco and cocoa. Same fruits on the palate along with dark plums, black licorice, coffee and spicy oak. Long lasting note of dark chocolate on the extended earthy finish. Medium-plus bodied with reasonably smooth tannins for such a young wine. Opulent, bold and rich. It will interesting to see how this wine evolves over the next few years. Presented by Nick Goldschmidt, winemaker. — 5 months ago

Alon Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2019

This wine has an indigo color in the glass. The nose is full of dark fruit, with blackberry, plum and black currant coming into play. Notes of cigars, leather, white pepper and funky earth make me think the Syrah plays a much larger part than its percentage indicates. The palate has all the black fruit and some ripe, red cherries in addition. The acidity has some zip to it and the tannins are firm enough for brisket. The finish isn’t terribly long, but it holds the fruit flavors for a delicious few minutes. — 7 months ago

Nicer than the average rating for the vintage. Crisp with a balance of oak and butter. Fruit included pear, mango, kiwi. Great with lobster and scallops. — a month ago

Vinica Mavrud 2019

Bulgarian wine amarone style. Dark purple (though dark out) dark fruit with hint of plum prune and cinnamon. Same on mouth with tannins that need some time. Long. Very good. May be my first Bulgarian wine. Definitely first with grape drying. — 3 months ago

Dow's

Late Bottled Vintage Porto 2015

Fall is here and it’s the season I love to drink port. Dow, producing Ports for over 2 centuries. One of the first to establish its own vineyards, acquiring Senhora da Ribeira, in the remote Upper Douro, in 1890 & Bomfim, in the heart of Alto Douro, in 1896. Aromas of ripe fruits, fragrant spices and sweet notes. On the palate flavors of candied apple and jammy blackberries with cacao and honey. Firm dusty tannins, good balance, long finish. Perfect now. Tasting Sample. — 3 years ago
